He was so upset that he trashed all his guitars, since he couldn't play them any more. After calming down he went out and bought a left handed guitar and learned to play that way.
He was an Yngwie Malmsteen nut.
Not sure how much of it he cut off, but Tony Iommi cut off the tips of multiple fingers (2 maybe?) and somehow rigged up something to put on his fingers to continue playing.
Pretty sure that's kinda how Black Sabbath got their sound too. I think he started tuning his guitar down a step or two to compensate for this.
